Patient's question:
Medical history and effectiveness of previous IUD insertion:I have had an IUD inserted before. I had cervical erosion of degree II, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and an ectopic pregnancy surgery ten years ago. I have not had an IUD inserted since then. I had a miscarriage last year, and my last menstrual period ended three days ago. I had two instances of sexual intercourse, both with withdrawal ejaculation. What kind of help can I get: What kind of IUD can I use?
Doctor's answer:
Inserting the intrauterine device (IUD) can only be done three days after the menstrual cycle is clean. During intercourse, you used withdrawal (coitus interruptus), but withdrawal is not always safe. Before inserting the IUD, it is essential to ensure you are not pregnant.Recommendation: Based on your situation, you should have an ultrasound at the hospital before inserting the IUD to check the condition of your uterus. This will help determine which type of IUD is suitable for you. There are now many different types of IUDs available, with varying shapes and usage lifespans. It is recommended to have an ultrasound before selecting the type of IUD.
Wishing you good health.
